Nothing will change after tonight, its up to the superdelegates |
|
Unfortunately after Obama most likely wins NC and Hillary most likely wins Indiana, nothing will change in this race. There are simply not enough delegates left to make a difference and determine the nominee. My question is who will the superdelegates ultimately pick and why?

1. They may be waiting to see how their states vote, OR |
|
who comes out ahead so they can be in his/her good graces. I can't think of any other reason why they're delaying.

2. There are enough delegates |

How exactly can EITHER one of them sew it up without SDs?

3. everything changes tonight . The total number of delegates left will shrink dramatically |
|
Clinton will still have to make up a 140 delegate gap but with less delegates to do it.
Instead of 676 remaining delegates she will only have 488.
Instead of having to get 67% of all of the remaining delegates she will have to get 75%.
It now moves from far fetched to ridiculous on the math scale.

5. The sole impact of today's votes will be on how long Hillary prolongs the mud fight. |
|
It's solely narcissistic at this point ... the Last Hurrah. I have some doubts about whether she'll even continue to be a Senator. It's never been anything but a stepping-stone, imho. She has NO emotional or ethical attachment to the people of New York State. Even from their perspective, she's little more than a hired gun.
